Now that Amethyst and Noelle were fighting, I would say Noelle had a considerable advantage. Noelle's illusion couldn't be reflected if Amethyst didn't know what Noelle's magic was.
Amethyst, who had looked at Noelle's katana, should have already fallen into Noelle's illusion. If that had happened, then Noelle would have already won this fight.
When Amethyst randomly turned around, Noelle ran her fastest and slashed Amethyst on her wrist. Caught in Noelle's magic, Amethyst had lost.
We were now on the lead, but the event hadn't ended yet. Rebecca, who has been quietly searching for someone, had met an opponent from Team Echela.
Confident in her abilities in close combat, Rebecca charged right at her opponent. She could dodge anyone's attack as long as she could react to the opponent's attack.
Team Echela was insulted by Rebecca's gesture. Attacking with a mana blast, Rebecca had already teleported right on Echela's member.
Finishing her off instantly, I could tell that Rebecca had become much more robust. Her ability to stop time or skip through it had improved. She could cover more distances and dodge much faster, making her a force to be reckoned with.
Camile was the next person to finish off her opponent. With her emotional control, anyone near her would have an emotional outburst.
Not only would it affect their battle performance, but it would also affect their ability to hide. Camile had perfect control over the event.
Team Everest and Team Grandelle had fought. While their fight wasn't that spectacular, Team Everest had pulled a quick attack getting Team Grandelle out.
Rebecca, a nearby Team Estia member, had made a sneak attack. Successfully, she gained another two points.
There were now three people left, Rebecca, who was in Team Avaris. Camile from Team Etheal and Noelle from Team Star State.
Noelle from our team was at a considerable disadvantage. The two other competitors left were at the third rank, while Noelle was still at the second rank.
The arena had started to close. Was this a rule? If so, with this many people left, it would be better if they could find each other now.
Noelle, closest to the middle of the map, had found a place to hide. Using the images of the other competitor, Noelle stood still with an expressionless face.
Camile, who had also arrived in the middle, would confront Noelle sooner or later. The battle was inevitable. Both Camile and Noelle would use their magic to spot each other.
Noelle, who was usually stale, was acting jumpy. Camile's magic had already affected her. Camile, who had noticed a movement coming from Noelle, had already started to attack.
Like Noelle, Camile was also caught in Noelle's illusion. She was using her whip to hit places that shouldn't even be hit.
Noelle, who found a chance to attack, had rushed in. But Rebecca, the third party, threw her dagger and got Noelle out because she was too caught up in the attack.
Serena, who was near me, couldn't help but be angry. Noelle had gotten third because of a sneak attack. Camile, who was in an illusion, had snapped out of it.
Camile tried her best to disrupt Rebecca's emotions. But with them being in the same rank, it was hardly adequate.
Rebecca had the advantage in close combat. Rebecca won the round by using her magic to close the gap between them.
With Camile defeated, Team Avaris won the match. Rebecca had taken the lead and got ten points.
Camile, who was eliminated last, had gotten second with two kills. At the same time, Noelle got third with two kills.
Now that the first division, Hide and Hit, is over. First place was Rebecca, who had gotten eighteen points giving her ten points in the competition.
Camile gained thirteen points over the event, giving her nine points for being second. Noelle, who was third, got twelve points and got eight points.
The team Everest had eliminated a team, making them fourth, and Estia, one of the last four to be eliminated, had gotten fifth.
Sixth place was Team Igarde, tied with Grandelle in points. But due to the fact they had eliminated someone, they had gotten the lead on them, making Grandelle seventh.
Echela got eighth, followed by Uthua, who got ninth. And the pitiful Evergreen, behind us in a point, had gotten last.
Next was the senior's turn and what I could say was pitiful. Isabelle used her gold shield in the second year to make it up to fourth place, but our third and fourth years went below average.
The score was now in, and everyone had looked at the rank.
[Score
Star State: 8 + 7 + 3 + 4 = 22 + 24 = 46
Etheal: 9 + 4 + 2 + 7 = 22 + 20 = 42

We were still first tied with Team Estia, who was predicted to be very low in the ranks. All of our scores were still within a team point difference, meaning anyone could still end first at the end of the day.
Before we start our next event, there will be a thirty-minute break. It would be a one-on-one battle, and one of us would be randomly chosen.
I would have liked to discuss our plans for the next event, but that will be pointless. We would only be battling a random opponent, with one of us randomly chosen.
"Want some juice and a snack?"
Serena had grabbed a drink and some snacks from somewhere.
"Where did you get these?"
"They were in our lounge. The workers are pretty friendly with their hospitality."
"Are these safe?"
Maddison got poisoned earlier. I didn't want to risk getting harmed right before an event.
"Should be. Otherwise, the reputation of Grandelle will be ruined."
